Is it possible to increase strength, mass and endurance at the same time?

Usually 1 or 2 of these things will take a back seat when you focus on just a few aspect

I want to be able to max out and fly through USMC OCS' physical part as well as have more stamina in boxing

However I also want to get bigger

how do people in sports like boxing go up in weight class? They gain mass while training for endurance

You can and you can't. Good news is, with weight training you gain some endurance and lots of strength anyways. With endurance training you gain some strength and lots of endurance. It's not all separated.

Doing anything will benefit. I say work on endurance first, then you work on strength. You can't work your muscles hard enough to grow if you can't finish your workout.

I think if we do wanna gain all three, we need to do what heavyweight boxers do

Add endurance training to your routine, and eat more to compensate for the lost calories.

It is possible to an extent, however its rare to see someone become Advanced/Elite at all three.

Eventually you have to pick a direction.

My squat suffered when I was doing lots and lots of cardio, I tapered back on cardio and my strength exploded.

Speaking from experience, you can't make substantial stamina gains without sacrificing a lot of strength/muscle. Pick one or the other. If you're just trying to survive, I'd take stamina over strength, so long as you've got enough strength to pull your bodyweight around.

Fair enough. I was just wondering how heavyweight boxers did it.

I mean, they have stamina AND strength, as well as size
